policykit 0.7 and policykit-gnome-0.7 have been around for quite a while. Would be a good addition to gentoo. I'm currently looking into why this is masked. Will test if automount really failes with policykit. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 147310 [details, diff] policykit-gnome-update.patch This bumps the version from 0.6 to 0.7. It also adds the ability to build the example-application (which is quite helpful for testing!).
Forgot to say: policykit-0.6 can simply be renamed.
policykit 0.8 is out
Policykit has been masked for a while now. Any update about this problem? # Saleem Abdulrasool <compnerd@gentoo.org> (23 Nov 2007) # These might break automounting, so keep them masked for now. Personally I've been using 0.8 for a while now and didn't experience any problems like this.
Maybe a version bump for policykit* and gnome-mount would be interesting also Thanks

Why is this package still masked?
Another month. These packages don't seem problematic. What's the deal?

Created attachment 164782 [details] policykit-gnome-update.patch
I bumped policykit to 0.9 and policykit-gnome to 0.9.2 (depends on gtk+-2.13 so a no go until gnome 2.24 was released). Works fine here. No issues with automounting (using gnome-mount-0.8)
I'm using sys-auth/policykit-0.9 and gnome-extra/policykit-gnome-0.9.2 on a x86, and it's working well. No automount issue right now.

I would really like to see this package getting bumped in portage for several reason: 1. A *lot* of overlay includes newer versions of policykit, but with diffrent configurations (myself I have one from rbu's overlay and one from gnome-overlay, and I thought this duplications of work was one of the big reasons why people did not want splitted portage tree some years back) 2. Current ebuild in portage has securityissues (see bug #215701) and the mask says nothing about it (just some comments about automounting). Maybe time for a portage bump and a page somewhere with a little how-to and known problems and link to the corresponding bugreports?
Its almost a year since those packages became hard masked. Do we have any updates so far? I am currently using 0.9 policykit without problems

now in tree. Thanks all for your patience.
